FOCUS ARTICLE
Article 5: "Back to School in Libya, and Struggling to Adjust" on NYTimes
              This article is about Libya's push to get more kids back in school. Libya is making a huge stand in the government to make their future generation smarter, instead of just forcing them to join the army. This is a major move in the country of Libya because having the future generations smarter, Libya can move forward as a country. Some city's in Libya are having trouble with these changes, but soon all the city's in Libya will get used to this new push for knowledge. This can hugely effect Human Geography because if Libya becomes a smarter country, they might become one of the world powers, and might change the standings of countries which would effect farming and goods production.

LEARNING REFLECTION: This week in Human Geography we watched a video about population growth/decrease and how this generations choices to not have kids in certain countries will greatly affect the future generations because it will be so small in countries like Japan and Russia. We looked at Population Pyramids and saw how some countries are very offset then what they should be, like India had too many kids and Japan had too little kids, and how Americas was almost perfect. Also we learned about Human Migration and and the 5 reasons why someone would migrate from one countries to another or by force IDP or refugee.
